CERN's Beamline For Schools BL4S

What this episode covers

Learn more about an international science competition for high school students, where they can propose an experiment, which can be performed using a particle accelerator. Since 2014 CERN has run the Beamline for Schools competition, where winners are invited each year for two weeks with full cost covered to perform their proposed experiments together with professional scientists at CERN's world-class particle physics laboratories.Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics EducationAbout the Beamline for Schools Competition BL4SThe competition is open to teams of high-school students from all around the world who, if they win, are invited (with up to two adult team coaches) to DESY to run their experiment. It all about being creative and designing an experiment that will have impact and can be run at on a real particle accelerator!https://beamlineforschools.cern/bl4s-competition/aboutAbout the FizzicsEd PodcastHosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics EducationWith interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom.
